Overview

  • Spokesperson Kelly Scully said Biden underwent Mohs surgery, a tissue-sparing technique used to treat skin cancer by removing thin layers until no cancer cells remain.
  • Biden is recovering well, according to his personal office, which offered no details on the type of skin cancer removed.
  • Confirmation followed video and photos, including Inside Edition footage, showing Biden leaving a Delaware church with a bandage or visible scar on his forehead late last month.
  • Biden previously had a basal cell carcinoma removed from his chest in 2023, his physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor reported, and Jill Biden had cancerous skin lesions removed that year.
  • In May, Biden’s office disclosed an aggressive prostate cancer with metastasis to bone that appears hormone-sensitive, and he is receiving treatment.
